@tersha and @capetown99…………..Ok so for beginners having a bit of info on the settings is maybe helpful but I think that asking a question such as “how on earth did you do that” is a good way to find out information.
If someone wants to say what they did to achieve a picture then that is fine but I resent being told that I must do this, I thought free will was still in play here. Obviously I was wrong. If I decide to post an image I will not bore myself or most others by writing the settings.
If anyone wants to know I will do my best to tell them. I am all for helping and answering questions.
Photography is being ruined by the equipment jocks, if it’s a good image it’s a good image. It’s amazing what can be learnt from an image if you take the time to study it and do a bit of work for yourself.
Digital Camera did an article entitled 32 things photographers say and what the actually mean. I found this which backs me up.
When photographers say…
You’ve got some great bokeh there.
They actually mean…
I’m more at ease talking about the mechanics of photography than entering into a discussion of the artistic merits of your picture. Hey, did I mention that it looks really sharp? What lens did you use?
I do shoot in RAW, and the creative style of B&W does not affect the control I have. But maybe I was not clear and should have stated that I converted to B&W in PS.
Is it essential to state exposure settings or lens used etc. I think it is a rather annoying habit of photographers to get hung up on how an image was created rather than being able to critique from the point of an observer.
I have received one notification about so called etiquette, and personally all this settings stuff detracts from an image.
Are we not critiquing on composition, lighting and how the image grabs us?
Maybe I am missing the point but you wouldn’t want to know what brand of paintbrushes an artist uses!
